Description
Structural priming in sentence production refers to the tendency of speakers to reuse grammatical structures they have recently been exposed to or used. This comprehensive Element by Giulia M. L. Bencini provides an in-depth examination of this fundamental psycholinguistic phenomenon.
The book explores the mechanisms underlying structural priming, including how syntactic representations are activated and maintained during language production. It covers empirical findings from experimental studies demonstrating priming effects across various linguistic contexts and populations.
Bencini discusses theoretical implications for understanding sentence formulation, lexical-syntactic interfaces, and the role of memory in language use. The Element also examines individual differences in susceptibility to structural priming and how this phenomenon relates to broader theories of language production and comprehension.
Essential for researchers, students, and linguists interested in psycholinguistics, cognitive science, and sentence production mechanisms, this work synthesizes current knowledge and presents an accessible yet rigorous treatment of structural priming.
